RELEASING INFO sAvAGERY.

A strange example of changing ciyiliza-
ton is said TO be found in Hayti, where
the African population is again relapsing
back into savageTy, II is said by Sir
SPENCER ST. JOHN, Charge d'Afairs at
Port su Principe, that ''VOOdoo worship,
human sacrifices, aud cannihalism prevail
to such an extent that the Government
dares not interfere with these practices,
the YOOdOO sectaries being too strong.
The splendid roads constructed under the
French regime are growing over with the
tangled vegetation of the tropics, and the
finely paved streets are filling up with gar
bage flung out from the houses. When a
public building burns down or falls into
decay it is never rebuilt. The educated
mulattOes for the most part have been put
to flight by the prevailing insecurity of
life and property. Everything betOkens a
return to the pristine sayagery of the race,
and the question is pressing whether the
public interests can permit the establish
ment Of a VOOdOO nation in the very midst
Of civilized States and communities and
withina short sail of our shores"
There are few whites in Hayti, and
thousands of African slaves that were freed
years ago, were turned out almost as ignor-
norant as when they came from their
native Africa. While there were many
whose knowledge and intelligence had
been improved and who had advanced a
long way in the race for civilization,

MOOREFIELD, w. VA, April II.
To he Editor Of he Register.
DEAR SIR A gentleman recently show
Ell me a copy oil the REGISTER which CON
tanned long article from the pen OF dis
appointed applicant for District Attorney,
Joseph Sprigg, in which he makes blum
derous attempt to give an account of the
meetings recently held in this town on the
Senatorial matter. Now, this account is
further from the real facts than any we
have seen. But it is not our purpose to
dispute on this question with General
Sprigg. What We want to reply 10 is n list
of names he gives rs being oil the Camden
Democrats in the meeting of the 9Th Of
March. lie says: IL propose 10 name
them for him aud defy him OF any one else
tO name any more than | do" He then
gives the names of about fourteen persons
who were there.
Now, propose to take him at his word
and defy him to deny our statement. Be
sides We state that there are more Democrats
iasiIie the corporate limits Of NOOrcfeid OPP
posed to the action OF the "kickers' than
those who sustain them, and defy" Gen
eral Sprigg to deny this; and, further,
ask him to count noses.
Now, will give, for the benefit of Mr..
Sprigg, n few names of persons who were
in that meeting, who, being too blinded
with disappointment aud preiudice) failed
to see. Here they are:
Jas. n. Cunningham, J. K. Matthias
Noah Jumbo, G. ID. LObb, Jas LObb, John
NewhOuse, Chas. Fisher, C.. W. Paskell,
VIM. Friddle, Frank Turley. Aud here
are the names OF some of the Democratic
voters who live inside the corporate limits
of MOOrefeld who disapproved of the
actions Of the "kickeTs, and who were not
in that meeting:

may see both sides.
ONE Who WAS IN THE MEETING
OF THE 9TH.

BIZ DOUBLY ARMED.

Next Wednesday the eStT!. session of the
Legislature meets, and even now our states
men are on their way to the Capital City.
Here is something from the Martinsburg
Statesman for both caucus aud anti-caueus
men to think OF As they go:
Grave doubts have been expressed by
many able lawyers % to the validity of the
appointment OF a Senator by the Governor,
beyond the next meeting" of the Leglsla-
ture, after such appointment has been
made, and the preCedentS Seem to sustain
this view
That being the case, there is serious dan
ger that the claim OF the Governors APP
pOintee, 10 a seat in the United States SEN
ate, will not he recognized by that body,
which undoubtedly has the power to pass
upon the legality of the election of its own
members. That danger can certainly be
averted by the election of q Senator at
the extra session, thereby giving the State
two strings TO her bow. The United
States Senate would be Obliged to receive
one OF the other, and the danger of losing
one of our representatives in our Senate
would be avoided. In this case Of doubt
such course would be to take the side of
safety, aud Mr.. Lucas and his friends, ii
they have the interest of the State at
heart ought not to object to it. II they
have the confidence in the Governors ap-
pointing power that they profess to have
and il, rs they claim, that is the only CON
stitutiOnal manner in which the vacancy
can be filled, then Mr.. Lucas interests
cannot suffer by making assurance doubly
sure, that the State will not suffer the loss
Of a Senator.
We think that the members of the Leg
islature have decided upon course like
this, and will have our State doubly as
snred in case of a contest over the Senator
ial seat when the next Congress meets.

TaESt. Louis RepuBlicn, says:


The crushing defeat Of Republicinism in
Rhode Islald isonly q premOnitiOn OF what
Is To come. The light has not been local
The Republican managers have done every
thing possible 10 give it national character
istics and to hold up their party lines on
national issues The Blaine press of New
York has devoted special attention to it,
but IN spite OF everything, the Republicans
have lost their hold on the State at almost
every point. From being Republican
State, always considered most irOn-Clad in
its preiudicpS, it has become Democratic.
Honesty, impartiality and patriotism in
the White House have given Democracy
this opportunity 10 assert itself, and like
opportunities will not he wanting in the
future.
Let the work go on. The country needs
changes in the old order, and the further
political wire-pulling is from an exact sci
ence the better.
The Republican was very severe in its
criticisms of the President last fall, when
Mr.. BENTON WAS removed from the Attor-
neyship of the Western district of Missouri.
But a great change seems to have been
wrought in the past few months, not only
in public sentiment in Missouri but
throughout many Western States.

SHERMAN loving Republicans are trying

They don't mind of his having "barI"

dislike to hear it said that this poor mans

small income in very short time. Such

AMERICANS LEARNING TRADES
The report Of the Illinois Bureau of
Labor statistics shows that of the trades
uniOnists of that State, but twenty-one per
cent are native born Americans. This ac-
counts for the turbulence in Chicago. No
other result could be expected.
This Is q sad commentary upon the in
dustrial training in Illinois. The large
majority OF American born trades union
lists are said to be old men who had learned
their trades before the foreign element had
come over in such numbers. The AmeTi-
can born young men in these unions are
said to be not more than twenty per cent,
taking the country over. Notwithstand-
lug the great demand there has been for
workers in the trades, the proportion be
tween home and foreign wOrkmen has
not been kept at proper balance. Ameri-
cans have made wages remunerative by
placing high tariff on imports and more
Americans should be enjoying the benefits
The way the matter has been going looks
as if the greater part of the tariff arrange
ment were intended to make positions and
good wages for foreigners. And as they
know a good thing when they see it they
have wisely accepted.
But we notice tendency among some OF
the unions in our large cities, to try to
shut out Americans from learning trade.
A foreign born workman or apprentice will
be given preference, and the young man
from the rural districts OF from some country
town, who is DESTROYS of learning
certain trade will be barred out. This
looks like the old KnOwnothing doctrine
reversed to read America for the for
eiguers," and if not counteraeted will
bring about very undesirable state OF at
fairs.
One thing could he done that would be
OF much effect in regulating this question,
and that is the establishing OF manual
training schools by the various States and
cities. This would give every young man
who wished it an opportunity to learn a
trade Then, as years go on, it is hoped
that the children of even such foreigners
As are trying to dominate some of the labor
organizations in Chicago may become real
American citizens and take pride in Amer
lean institutions. When this occurs there
will be little complaint about immigra-
ton.
